Abstract
An integrated semiconductor memory that has at least one temperature measuring element and repeatedly carries out a temperature measurement during the operation of the semiconductor memory, wherein the semiconductor memory repeats the temperature measurement at instants corresponding to a measuring frequency of the temperature measuring element. According to an embodiment of the invention, the measuring frequency of the temperature measuring element is variable and the temperature measuring element is driven in such a way that the measuring frequency changes in a manner dependent on the temporal development of measured values of the repeated temperature measurements.
